GIS Training Course: An Introduction To Using GIS In Marine Biology.
GIS In Ecology
8-11th May, 2012 - Biology Department, University of Aveiro, Aveiro, Portugal
This course aims to provide an introduction to the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in marine biology. The course will be taught by Dr. Colin D. MacLeod, the author of An Introduction To Using GIS in Marine Biology (Pictish Beast Publications, Glasgow, UK). It is aimed at those just starting to use GIS in their research and who have little or no existing knowledge of this subject area. It will cover subjects such as how to get your data into a GIS, how to prepare your data for use in a GIS, how to create a map of your data for a publication, how to handle environmental variables, such as water depth, and how to use GIS to create summaries of species distribution such as catch per unit effort, presence-absence grids and species richness grids. The course will consist of a mixture of background lecture sessions and practical exercises based on a real data set, and will be specifically aimed at users or ArcGIS 10 GIS software.
